I got this hammock (like an eno but some other brand) a while back and I'm not a fan of the straps. Anyone have a good recommendation? I've dealt with the eno straps before, and while I don't mind them, I'd rather something more adjustable.

I've always had Eno slapstraps and thought they were great. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but maybe something like this instead?

Yeah something along those lines. The one problem I have with eno straps is I often find the spot where I want to hook it up is between two of the loops.

What do you have on the hammock ends?

Dutchware hammock gear cinch buckle is the easiest system to use. The Dutch clips make hooking around the tree a breeze. If you have some sort of rope on the hammock you can remove that and put the amsteel on the cinch buckles through the sewn end of the hammocks. Or get a climbing rated carabiner to connect the ropes you have to the cinch buckles. Or get the Dutch biners that are tiny and super strong if you plan on backpacking and need to save weight.

This is what I have on the end.

So, if I bought the the dutchware gear, would I have to make any changes in this end?

I'm not very hammock savvy so excuse me if you answered this question in your last post

No you wouldn't have to. You could hook into that carabiner you have.

But if it were mine I would take that thick rope out and replace with the rope that will come on the Dutch cinch buckles. It will be much smaller and neater looking.
